A review in Variety focuses on Sia's concert film, 'Sia: Nostalgic for the Present,' noting how her performance style enhances the themes of power and strength present in her music. The film features performances of songs like “Unstoppable,” “Titanium,” and “The Greatest.”
The review emphasizes that Sia’s facelessness during the performance isn't a drawback, but rather a key element in conveying the message of her anthems. It explains how this anonymity creates the sensation that the power within her songs doesn’t originate from her personally.
According to the review, Sia presents herself as “a pair of lips singing,” and functions as “merely the vessel” for a larger force—described as “the rising specter of feminine triumph.” The reviewer observes that watching the 2016 concert film is fascinating because it shows how her anonymity feeds into the qualities of strength, power, fortitude, and invincibility present in her greatest songs.
The review suggests Sia channels a force larger than herself through her performance style. Her hits like “Unstoppable” and “Titanium,” along with “The Greatest,” are described as anthems embodying these themes.
